Cinema’s most iconic dinosaurs return to the big screen in Jurassic World Rebirth next summer, and director Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, The Creator) is in charge this time around. The plan? To trim back the visual effects-heavy spectacle a bit and get back to the vibes of the original Jurassic Park, which Edward details in a new chat with Entertainment Weekly.
Additionally, the outlet has shared four brand new images from the upcoming Jurassic World Rebirth, introducing us to the trio of main characters who bring a Jaws vibe to the film.
Edwards explains to EW, “To me, it’s a giant love letter to Steven Spielberg and his earlier films. There are moments in this movie that remind me very much of Jaws. It’s like little greatest hits of all those aspects of his films that I loved growing up as a child. It’s essentially a little adventure odyssey across this island, a survival story, really.”
The site goes on to describe in their own words, “Edwards likens the trio’s dynamic to Brody, Hooper, and Quint from Jaws, played in that 1975 Spielberg classic by Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw — disparate individuals hunting a prehistoric creature.”

Universal will release Rebirth in theaters on July 2, 2025.
Here’s the official plot synopsis: “The planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”
Academy Award® nominee Scarlett Johansson stars.
Original Jurassic Park writer David Koepp is back to write the screenplay.
